TV subscribers now number 1.23m; broadband customers have risen to 786,700; while the number of 'triple-play' customers - those who take TV, broadband and telephony services - has grown to 552,300, or 30.3% of all subscribers.

The company is also planning to roll out its video-on-demand service early next year and to launch a personal video recorder [WAMN: 20-Jan-05].

Telewest and its nominal rival, NTL, are widely expected to merge sooner rather than later in a bid to take on the might of Rupert Murdoch's TV company BSkyB and telecoms giant BT.
